On Friday, February 17, 2023, American Vapor Manufacturer’s sent a letter to Food & Drug Administration Commissioner Robert Califf seeking answers to why the vaping industry has been excluded from stakeholder meetings about the Reagan-Udall Foundation report.

At a time when the Biden administration is actively crushing the most effective smoking-cessation method ever devised, nicotine vaping, the president’s State of the Union speech inexplicably pretends to be helping Americans quit cigarettes.

Despite his pretensions and self-aggrandizement, the tragic reality is that Michael Bloomberg is bankrolling a prohibition campaign that aims to stigmatize and outlaw the single most effective smoking cessation method ever devised, nicotine vaping.

AVM President Amanda Wheeler’s prepared remarks for the Reagan-Udall Foundation for the Food and Drug Administration.

A new report from the American Vapor Manufacturers uncovers the ulterior funding that drives the war on vaping. Huge in scale, we uncovered hundreds of millions bankrolling academia, NGOs, lobbyists, PR, lawyers, front groups, and even journalists, all doing the bidding of pompous, unaccountable billionaires.

What the media omits is that the agency is hellbent on wiping out virtually all products that are used by adults to quit smoking.
